Apostolic Nuncio to Ukraine invited to Ukrainian MFA in connection with statements of Pope Francis
Apostolic Nuncio to Ukraine Visvaldas Kulbokas was invited to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine on Monday, March 11, because of His statements published in the media the other day.
"Visvaldas Kulbokas was informed that Ukraine is disappointed with the words of the Pontiff regarding the ‘white flag’ and the need to ‘show courage and negotiate’ with the aggressor. The Foreign Ministry noted that instead of appeals that legalize the right of the strong and encourage him to further disregard the norms of international law, the head of the Holy See would be expected to signal to the world community about the need for immediate unification of forces to ensure the victory of good over evil, as well as appeals to the attacker, not to the victim," the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine reported.
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry emphasized that Ukraine, like no other, strives for peace. However, this world must be fair and based on the principles of the UN Charter and the Peace Formula proposed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Foreign Ministry said.
